Health and Territory in research

Health & Territory Research (HTR) is an innovative, international and interdisciplinary research group of the University of Seville made up of geographers, urban planners, environmentalists, psychologists and statisticians who research on urban health and its socio-economic, environmental and geographic conditions.

HTR specializes in conducting representative population surveys, statistical data analysis, field studies and the use of spatial analysis tools, which contribute to the creation of scientific evidence and its dissemination through high impact publications.

Opinions of partners, collaborators and clients regarding the experience with HTR:

Denise Hewlett
Vice Chair of the World Commission on Protected Areas Health and Welfare Specialist Research Group (UK)

Since our first contact in 2018, we have had the pleasure to work with Professor Garrido Cumbrera and his team at the HTR.  We have worked on several projects and knowledge exchange activities during this time, successfully resulting in academic outputs and in confident outcomes for practice and policy development. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experiences working with the team.  The HTR provide the rare mix of solid research skills and knowledge, excellent communication and team oriented skills, and the art of collaboration is absolutely projected by all in the HTR team, led by Professor Cumbrera.  I am looking forward to further successful collaborations.

Johannes Schädler
Professor at the University of Siegen (Germany)

Since 2013, a formal cooperation with the HTR group has been initiated. This cooperation contributed to the conceptual basis of the large European conference on “Inclusive Community Planning and Development” in Siegen, Germany, in 2014, where the HTR group presented its experiences with the territorial mapping tool DESDE developed in Seville. Both in content and form, the collaboration of our research centre with the HTR group has not only been very productive, but has also been marked by kindness and mutual trust. I can recommend without any doubt any kind of cooperation in research with HTR.

Ronan Foley
Lecturer at Maynooth University (Ireland)

I have had an excellent working relationship with the HTR group for over seven years, including reciprocal visits to the universities of Seville and Maynooth. We are currently working on research projects and articles. I have enjoyed and benefited from my collaboration with the HTR group and have always found the team to be very professional and focused, with an outward projection capacity. I can only hope that I have offered something in return and I look forward to continuing my collaboration with the HTR group and the University of Seville in the future.

Cristian Rovira Pardo
Vice-president of the SIFU Group (Barcelona)

I met the HTR group in 2012 at a European congress on disability, after which we decided to work together on the “First Work Atlas of People with Disabilities 2016”, for which we had very good work experience. HTR stands for professionalism and efficiency, but also seriousness, a great commitment to innovation and an enormous capacity for work. Therefore, I would recommend any company or organization to work together with the HTR group to develop scientific projects, since they manage to transmit what a project of this caliber means.
